By now, most of us are pretty savvy when it comes to spoofed emails or virus generated email. There is a nasty new email going around that contains the worse virus created thus far according to CNN and Microsoft. I got an email from a friend about it.

The virus comes in an attachment called 'POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK'. The return address may come from someone you know, regardless don't open it. Basically the virus destroys the zero sector of your hard drive. So far, there isn't a repair for it yet.

If you receive a mail called 'POSTCARD' even though sent to you by  a friend, do not open it!

PLEASE DELETE IT.

Make sure your anti-virus program is up to date and it is scanning your email. -Charles

I got this, too, and nearly opened it... but my brain kept reading the pop=up box ("Do you know who sent you this email?") and saying NO! Whew!!

I got it about a week ago. Like a fool I opened it and then had to clean it up. Have no idea what I did but it took two hours. Someone had just sent me a valid one so my guard was down. Update your latest updates.

We don't open any greeting cards. It is too dangerous. It is sad too that the world has come to this because people do like getting greeting cards.

Thank you for the warning and it's people like this that just make this a rotten world. Why can't these type of people get a life and find something constructive to do with their life's. It sickens me.
